Multimorbidity Patterns and Functioning Associations Among Adults in a Local South African Setting
Multimorbidity poses significant challenges for resource-constrained healthcare systems, particularly in low and middle income countries where specific combinations of chronic conditions may differentially impact function. This cross-sectional study examined multimorbidity patterns and associations with functioning among 165 adults attending semi-rural primary healthcare facilities in South Africa. Participants completed performance-based measure…
Defining and identifying the critical elements of operational readiness for public health emergency events
INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 showed that countries must strengthen their operational readiness (OPR) capabilities to respond to an imminent pandemic threat rapidly and proactively. We conducted a rapid scoping evidence review to understand the definition and critical elements of OPR against five core sub-systems of a new framework to strengthen the global architecture for Health Emergency Preparedness Response and Resilience (HEPR). METHODS: We searche…
Describing the Rehabilitation Workforce Capacity in the Public Sector of Three Rural Provinces in South Africa
The World Health Organisation emphasises the importance of addressing gaps in health systems where rehabilitation services are poorly integrated. In South Africa, regions with the largest disability rates are usually the areas where rehabilitation is least accessible, due to inadequate workforce capacity. The first step towards addressing workforce capacity is to determine current capacity. This paper presents a cross-sectional study to describe …
Towards a needs-based design of the physical rehabilitation workforce in South Africa
Rehabilitation needs in SA are potentially massive and unmet, highlighting the need for innovative and context-specific rehabilitation that considers current local needs and projected changes. These findings should be considered when designing the NHI and other schemes in SA to ensure human and financial resources are deployed efficiently
